Sabotaging: the holey leaf

The minute we start believing that we’re ill and have to swallow a pill to get better, I’m thinking that’s just a fetter. If the leaf has a hole in it to stop it from being used in the wrong way, then there’s nothing wrong with that. And yet, it could just be perceived as useless. And seemingly useless things could be perceived as “psychotic”. When psychiatry finally becomes as redundant as phrenology, someone who still wants to mind-minimalise, will be perceived as psychotic. So go ahead try and fuck it if your dick is small enough.

But why?

Illustration Friday Night was a group art project that ran for over a year. It was created by Senor Prozac as a response to images being censored and banned on Illustration Friday.
The plan for IFN was to give artists an alternative platform for high-quality work that wasn't just about kitty-cats and cuddly ducklings.
Many of the 2000 images sumbmitted to the site provided a vibrant foil and counterbalance to IF-cutesiness.
It was nominated as a Blog of Note by Blogger in September 2007. Like a lot of things on the internet (and life in general), it ran out of steam in 2008.
